Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that involves ore dressing copper ore, melting and refining it, and manufacturing high-purity copper products.
Description
Copper ore dressing workers (copper smelting) crush copper ore, concentrate it using ore dressing machines, charge it into melting furnaces to remove impurities, and produce high-purity copper through electrolytic refining. The work involves furnace operations in high-temperature environments, handling dust and hazardous gases, and requires strong safety management and equipment maintenance. Quality is maintained through chemical analysis and temperature control, and teamwork is essential.
